The basic mantra around this new security fad is, something<br \/>\nyou know and something you have. When authenticating an account a user is<br \/>\nasked to enter something they know, such as a password, and is then sent a code<br \/>\nvia SMS to their phone. Once the user receives the text, they are asked to<br \/>\nenter that as the second layer of security and this becomes something you<br \/>\nhave. Sounds great, right? Well yes, it helps to add an additional layer of<br \/>\nsecurity for online logins but it doesnt protect the company or consumer from online<br \/>\nfraud as much as one may think.<br _moz_dirty=\"true\"><\/p>\n<p><!--StartFragment--><\/p>\n<p>While this may be a short-term fix for some models, the<br \/>\ntruth is&nbsp;two-factor<br \/>\nauthentication isnt going to solve the problem of online identity theft<br \/>\nand data breaches. Something you have can very well be stolen and\/or hackers<br \/>\nwill find a way to interfere with this. There have already been cases of mobile<br \/>\nmalware that render two-factor authentication obsolete. Just like any other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electronicverificationsystems.com\/solutions\/\" style=\"cursor: text;\">fraud prevention<br \/>\ntechnology<\/a>, as security measures become smarter, so do hackers. If<br \/>\ncompanies solely rely on this type of identity authentication, it wont be long<br \/>\nuntil the code is cracked.

In many cases, fraud prevention becomes a matter<br \/>\nof working smarter, not harder.
